All selected wineries feature their products in the festival’s Tasting Room, which hosts two trade-only tastings and four consumer International Festival Tastings over the course of three days. All wines exhibited in the Tasting Room are sold onsite at the BCLIQUOR wine shop; in 2024, onsite sales topped $487,000!

Participating wineries have added opportunities to present their wines at seminars, winery dinners, wine minglers, lunches and more.

Approximately 140-160 wineries will be selected to participate in the 2025 festival. Canada’s premier wine show once again aims to attract some of the biggest wine industry names from around the world.

Note that winery applications must be submitted by a registered and active BC wine agent on behalf of suppliers they represent in the BC market.
